I'm not entirely sure. 60/40 solder melts at around 360, so I was putting a bit of a

There's few standards (or too many) for lead-free solder, it seems.
Would thinned rosin flux work?
Alexandre - the earlier LaserJets are and were very good, up to about the 4000 series.
Since then it's been much
more hit and miss. Quite coincidentally they also shifted production to China, but I'm
sure there's absolutely
no connection.
My plan was to ramp it up to 400F in an oven,
soak for 5 mins, then cool
down to minimize thermal issues. Does this sound good?
Is 400 degrees anywhere close to hot enough?
